Candy 1

I informed my husband, Greg, we were taking care of my friends dog while she was at lunch. My husband didn't suspect anything. Candy, now Shanti, integrated with our pack quickly. I tried to get Greg to bond with her a little, but he was avoiding her as he misses his boy, Mowgli. I encouraged him to bring Shanti down to the gathering we were having at the barn. He quickly said no! I could tell he just didn't want to get attached and bring up his feelings of missing Mowgli. Half way through the party I brought Shanti down to the party. I gave Greg a little Valentine gift box. When he opened it, there was a collar and tag with our info on it. It took him a minute to understand, but once he did he was absolutely thrilled. He is so excited and truly happy with Shanti. I named her Shanti, as it's the name of Mowgli's girlfriend in the Jungle Book. I thought it was a nice tribute to Mowgli and a sweet way to keep his memory alive in this energetic and adorable little girl.
